Product Quality Engineer

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st‑century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI‑powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center.

As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting‑edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

Anduril is fielding the next generation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to tackle the extremely challenging industry demands of seabed exploration. Anduril has brought to the market a unique, ultra‑long‑range, full‑ocean‑depth platform, and a completely refreshed maritime vehicle and flexible manufacturing architecture that scales from "large" to "extra‑large" vehicle sizes. Today, Anduril is executing on multi‑million‑dollar contracts while simultaneously performing Robot‑as‑a‑Service (RaaS) AUV operations.

We are looking for a Senior Product Quality Engineer to join our new team in Quonset, RI. In this role, you will work inside and outside the organization to define, develop, and execute processes that deliver for AUV integration. You will help drive Anduril’s internal quality management system to meet AS9100 customer requirements and scale into our new facility for a new production line for our Dive‑XL.

You will partner across the product development organization, production organization, and field operations organizations. This role will be dynamic and full of new engagement, challenges, and opportunities.
